What a super sad depressing book. I feel like so much of what happens with these girls is left out because of the perspective it’s being told from. But it’s an interesting one. It’s just hard to say this was a good book. It was a hard read and Probably too gritty for me. But I pushed through. Now I need a shower and to only read rom coms for the next week.
